The Edmonton Oilers are struggling right now and last night didn’t improve much when they faced the Winnipeg Jets. What may be the scariest part of it all though is that Connor McDavid didn’t play in the final 4 minutes of regulation and didn’t hit the ice in overtime. That is concerning. Add to that, some Evander Kane drama after he appeared to throw shots at head coach Woodcroft for his lack of ice time causing him to start a fight against Dillon and things are beginning to get a bit ugly in Edmonton. I talk about it all in todays NHL hockey video!

Is it time to panic in Edmonton?
The oilers are the Angels of Hockey lol
kane has been a cancer on every team he's been on, if the oilies go south this season, you'll see the "real" cancer kane,
overpaid diversity hires and pisspoor money management has led to Edmonton having no depth, thankfully I'm an Avs fan
McDavid is a trooper for sticking with Edmonton all this time, and Kane is awesome for being one of the last few tough guys in the league. Despite their team not doing well I think they both are great players.
Glad to see helmets being taken off before a fight, good for Dillon and Kane.
They ned to revert back to their old system, they also need to get rid of Schwartz, the guy must have dirt on someone or something, the goaltending and defence is mediocre, seems like this has been their achilles heel for years now! Also a new coach may be needed. They need to figure this shit show out fast or it's gonna be a long season… Go Oilers Go!
The problem with this team is the SUPPOSEDLY DEFENSIVE GROUP! FIRE the defense coach , the goalie should ONLY SEE THE DEFENSEMANS NUMBER! Do your job as supposedly DEFENSESMEN! When the team scores some goals, STOP TRYING TO BE THE HERO, TO SCORE THE NEXT ONE!!! Protect your own GOAL!!!
From a Winnipeg Jets fan, get well soon McDavid.
Now mcdavid won’t be playing in the outdoor game
Love Kane playing in Edmonton fits right in. without a doubt this is the dumbest organization from the 90's till present.
For a second I thought the guy in the thumbnail was Jayson Tatum LOL!
Kane is a liability. He has destroyed edmontons cup run. Get rid of that bufoon.
The effort is there from Kane most shifts but he seems to be fighting the puck and he is losing too many one on one battles for guy his size. Has the feel of father time's icy grip
Kane is the best combination of hands that can throw and the light the lamp since BoB Probert..
Oilers have been dog shit for years, this season will be no different
Let’s go Blackhawk’s
And as if it couldn’t get any worse mcdavid is out for 1-2 weeks
Lol classic choking Edmonton. Watching these overrated chumps lose never gets old.
Kane did zip against Knights in plsyoffs and nothing this year. 5 months of nothing.
The amount of people not seeing that Kane was being sarcastic here is crazy
Even if they figure out their defense, edmontons goaltending situation will never allow them to make a deep playoff run.
Can't Blame the Goalie, but the weakest LINK on the Oilers right now, as well as the playoffs from last year is Skinner.
i think the Oilers will get there in a few years, they'll be GREAT around 2025-2027 for sure
Maybe run-and-gun hockey is harder in the Western Conference now when the crap teams from last season got better during the offseason…
As a habs fan, I feel bad for the Oilers but I just want to see McDavid and Draisaitl lifiting the cup at least once in their career regardless of where…
Nah, it's only 5 games into the season, The Oilers will be fine.
It's clear that the oiler franchise is in need of new direction, a new start. I propose a move to Hamilton.
Kane is a clown. Vegas owns him on AND off the ice. 🤣
I recall a Rangers team that lost the first 8 to 11 games or so and then went pretty deep in the playoffs. So; waaaaayy to early to throw in towel. And, no Kane fan here, but he was obviously making a self-deprecating joke. Most importantly, it was actually funny.
Kane could be rubbing off and maybe the team is betting on their own games now. They making bank going 0-5. McDavid learning insider betting?😹
Congratulations on Kane. In my opinion, degenerate gambler who doesn’t pay his markers. Ex girl has some seriously scary accusations about him. Yikes! Edmonton loves him though. Can he cross check and play yesteryear hockey? Yes please. Us Oilers love you!!!!!
lmao dont blame kane and his personal life, Edmonton sucks Mcdavid has to leave that hell hole
Jesus, I didn't know Kane has been sued for sexual assault and domestic battery and had a restraining order against him. What the hell? Why are teams still picking this guy
No defence, poor goalie, same as always! You can't just rely on Connor and Leon all season 🤷♂
The problem goes deeper than this the team has a whole array of issues right now
As an Oiler's fan, I hate to say this but this may be the best time to consider rebuilding. The league has adopted to training defending with the box on 5v5, with the 5th player cherry picking. The Oilers don't have an answer for this. The exhaust themselves trying to break through the clump of bodies with skill, get caught on a turnover, and can't change because they are defensive, and get scored on. They are toooooo sportsmen like. Coaches realized we won't shoot from the blue line if it means hurting someone. They realized we have no talented redirectors.
If they want to win, they need to change their gameplay. They can't go ALL IN OFFENSE at every opportunity. They need to learn that after 2-3 solid chances in 10 seconds, the moment is gone. It's time to back out, change, keep fresh legs out there. 95% of their goals against are due to over extending on the O. Ekholm has gone on record saying if we want to win games we need to learn to play that boring hockey style that wins games. Our talent is definitely better than any team on the rush, or the PP. Imagine having players like mcdavid/mcleod/holloway on breakaways every shift because of solid defensive efforts? Rebounds to Drai, Hyman, Kane, Nuge.
Trading McDavid, Draisaitl, Nurse, Kane, RNH, while the still retain VALUE for future prospects, or up and coming talents, should be considered. Fire all the coaching staff. Goalie, Defense, Offense, Assistant/Head coaching. TBH, I'm not sold that Woodcroft is a good coach, rather a poster boy/mediator for McDavid and upper management.
Losing Yamamoto is definitely something to consider as a team. No player instigated turn-overs like he did. Now we don't have that, which is lost opportunities for that O. Concussion protocol ended his career here unfortunately. But no one has stepped up to fill in that role as 'SHIT DISTURBER' for our team. Not having one of those players is basically telling the other team 'yah, set up your 40% scoring chance play because we literally won't do anything to stop it'
well we have less losses than one other nhl team so that is a good thing. also we have scored more than 5 teams and there are 4 teams that have let in more goals. While I admit Skinner is 61st in save %, Campbell has worked his way up to 34th among the 30 teams so we have not left that much of a deficit to catch Vegas who we have spotted 9 pts so far. That said, I agree we should have got Vegas last yr when we had a great chance until Nurse self destructed in getting ejected from GM5 forcing us to play rookies leading to double penalty… & very bad ref calls.. It was fully in Oilers conrol, but Nurse, Bouchard, and 3 or 4 others always self destruct – just do not seem to be cool winners… but possibly we are about to get a lot of scoring without McD in lineup.
Oilers imploding they can't take the pressure of all the expectations from them having the 2 best players in the league.
